CHAPTER 4
Felix's POV
All my classes went by as usual. Which is pretty uneventful but that's just how school is I guess. The bell rang signaling the end of third period. Now it's time for lunch, and for me to get some answers from Jack.
*Time skip until Felix, Mark, and Jack sit down at the table and start to eat*
I took a bite out of my PB&J sandwich that my mom made me and looked up at Mark and Jack. For some reason, they were sitting very close together and almost cuddling right then and there in the middle of the cafeteria. Is there some kind of Bromance going on between those two?
I pushed the thought out of my head as I cleared my throat. "Have either of you seen Cry?" I asked in a more casual sort of tone.
Jack started to tear up a little bit for some strange reason unknown to me. Mark stared at me with a dead serious expression. Shit, I must have struck a nerve.
"Felix" Mark continued to stare but seemed hesitant to answer my question. "Cry, he…"
"What? Just tell me already. I can handle it." Is it really THAT serious to the point where Mark is stuttering? He never stutters. I just thought Cry was sick or something.
"Cry killed someone. He's in Jail." Mark slightly stumbled over his words.
My jaw dropped as my eyes widened in both shock and sadness. How could he? He wouldn't even hurt a fly, how would I expect him to straight up KILL someone. No, this is NOT happening right now!
"Come on Mark, you're just messing with me right?" I plastered a crooked smile on my face to not seem as distraught as I really am. Despite my efforts, I don't think it was really convincing. Mark just lowered his head to the ground in response and I heard a small whimper coming out from under his breath. "MARK PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE JUST JOKING!" I shouted very loudly on accident and everyone else whipped their heads around and began staring at us in total silence.
I shook Mark's shoulders frantically in an attempt to get an answer out of him, but he wouldn't even look at me. Then I felt a hand gently pressed down on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Jack.
"Felix, I'm sorry. I know you don't believe us. We don't even believe it. We'll take you to see Cry after school. I promise that we will see him again." Jack said both slowly and sadly.
I let go of Mark's shoulders and sat back down. The staring eyes of the other students turned back around. I knew they were talking about us, but I don't care about that right now. All I care about is Cry.
The three of us sat in silence and finished eating and went on with the rest of our day in a dreary mood.
